Early childhood education services in 2007: key findings from the NZCER survey

This is one of three reports from NZCER’s second national survey of the early childhood education sector, carried out in late 2007. The others are:

• Provision of ECE services and parental perceptions, and
• Assessment practices and aspects of curriculum in early childhood education.

The survey reports the views of teachers/educators from education and care centres, kindergartens, playcentres, and home-based services, and from a small number of köhanga reo, along with the views of parents.

This report is a snapshot of the sector, and an overview of the findings from the two main reports.
